Work on aviation university may begin by June

The foundation stone for the National Aviation University (NAU) slated to come up at Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Udayan Academy in Rae Bareli, Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s constituency, is likely to be laid by June and it is likely to start offering courses by July next year.
This emerged at a meeting held here on Monday, which was chaired by Minister for State for Civil Aviation K.C. Venugopal and attended by Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi.
Steps are also on for finding some foreign universities with which the NAU can have tie-up, senior officials of the Ministry of Civil Aviation said.
The detailed project report for setting up the project is with the Planning Commission, officials of the Ministry of Civil Aviation said, and added that the Ministry was also hopeful of moving a Bill in the forthcoming session of Parliament for setting up of the University.
This university is expected to meet the growing needs for professionally trained manpower in the aviation sector.
